RootsChat Birthday 10 Years
« on: Thursday 02 January 14 14:34 GMT (UK) »
Seems almost like yesterday that we launched RootsChat but Birthdays soon creep up.

This week we celebrate 10 years online! Just wanted to say a Huge Thank you to so many of you that make RootsChat a special place to be, including our wonderful moderators who do a lot of work (that is often unseen)

Thinking about some great friends that we met over the last few years and looking forward to making some new friends in 2014.

Anyone for a slice of Cake?

Sarah and Trystan  :-* :)

Congratulations Sarah and Trystan and Happy Birthday Rootschat.

Since I've been using this site, not only have I learnt so much about my own family history, but I have also learnt new skills and been able to help others. However, I think one of the best things has been the huge number of new friends I have found. Some have become very good friends indeed and without Rootschat we would never have met.

So thank you for all you do to keep this site running and a big thank you to all the Mods.

Pass a slice of cake this way please.

Hi,

A very Happy 10th Birthday to Rootschat indeed! What a fantastic site!

Trystan & Sarah have done & continue to do a fantastic job & family history research wouldn't be the same without it. I have made many discoveries in my family history lately & without Rootschat & the wonderful chatters' themselves I would never have found a lot of what has been found.

Have also made a few friends on here, hope to make some more this year!

Mustn't forget the Mods who also do a great job as well. To one & all, Thank you for a wonderful site!

Happy 10th Birthday RootsChat!
Hope the above turns out alright, not done a moving bit before! ;D

Any of that cake left?

Kind regards
